Melanie Mitchell, the Davis professor of complexity at the Santa Fe Institute, has worked on digital minds for decades. She says AI will never truly be “intelligent” until it can do something uniquely human: make analogies.
Advanced Artificial Intelligence Research
The Ohio State University is now the home base of two new federally funded institutes dedicated to advancing artificial intelligence research.
The U.S. National Science Foundation announced the establishment of 11 new NSF National Artificial Intelligence Research Institutes, building on the first round of seven institutes funded in 2020. The combined investment of $220 million expands the reach of these institutes to include a total of 37 states.
The AI Institute for Intelligent Cyberinfrastructure with Computational Learning in the Environment (ICICLE) and AI Institute for Future Edge Networks and Distributed Intelligence (AI-EDGE), both led by Ohio State teams, will each receive a total of $20 million over five years. Each institute will manage about $10 million in funding with the rest shared by core partner institutions across the United States.

What is the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle? – Chad Orzel
The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle states that you can never simultaneously know the exact position and the exact speed of an object. Why not? Because everything in the universe behaves like both a particle and a wave at the same time. Chad Orzel navigates this complex concept of quantum physics.
Liquid Metal Batteries – As Good As The Hype? | Answers With Joe
There’s no shortage of battery storage solutions these days, but one of the most interesting (and one with massive potential) is the liquid metal battery – a battery that you literally melt. So let’s talk about how it works, the pros and cons, and how they stack up against Tesla’s lithium-ion battery packs.

What are Non-Fungible Tokens or NFTs? Why are they taking the digital art world by storm?
Quantum Computer: Humanity’s Quantum Leap?
Quantum Computer is a bit of bleeding-edge tech but here’s what you need to know before it becomes more popular in the next coming years!
China vs US: Blockchain, AI, & Quantum technology
Blockchain, AI and quantum technology are the new frontiers where China is competing with the US. These tech wars will shape Sino-US relations for the next 5 years.
While Beijing cracks down on cryptocurrencies and bitcoin mining, it quietly launched Blockchain Service Network, a platform that aims to propel China into a control position in blockchain application, an initiative in the CCP’s 13th 5 year plan. The CCP has long planned strategically for AI and quantum technology. From the “Made in China 2025” campaign in 2015, the “13th 5 Year Plan,” to the “14th 5 Year Plan,” China’s competition with the US in achieving quantum supremacy is getting intense and is a national security threat.
What is a Dapp Explained: Features, Advantages, Types | Decentralized Apps in Blockchain
What is a DApp or Decentralized Application? Well, the decentralized apps in blockchain depend on the blockchain for managing the actor present in the network and their core logic is based on smart contracts. Let’s discuss the different aspects of the what are decentralized applications in blockchain briefly in this video.
New Iron-Air Battery outperforms best Lithium Ion tech. Cheap. Abundant. Non-toxic & Carbon Free
Iron Air batteries use cheap, nontoxic, abundant materials and potentially have a far higher energy density than Lithium-Ion batteries. The technology was first developed by NASA in the seventies, but no major commercial application has ever come to fruition. Now though, a US company, backed by some pretty big investors, has developed a grid-scale iron air battery that could be a real industry disruptor.
